Will be painting with my grandpa.
One of the things i will not do on my own.
Either that or a retired body shop teacher, he shows lots of mopar vehicles and has amazing paint jobs.
I live on the edge of fort worth in haltom city.

I've actually thought about Macco.
If i got one, I would do all of the prep work. Our painters in this area are not bad and the paint is not bad quality, what they are lacking is the prep work.
So if i got it, i would prep and remove lights and everything.
I've seen some good jobs done like that.
